Candy Cane Ice Cream Pops Recipes

CANDY CANE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Crack both eggs into a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy.
• Slowly add sugar and whisk till blended.
• Add whipping cream and milk and whisk together.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix.
• Crush candy canes and add to mixture (they should make the ice cream light pink when you add them).
• Put mixture into ice cream maker and wait till done.
• If you want you can save extra candy canes and add them when the ice cream is ready so you have candy cane chunks or you can not add the candy canes in the mixture and just put it in before it's put in the freezer.

CANDY CANE HEART POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 3 lollipop sticks on one of the baking sheets. Lay 2 candy canes in a heart shape around each stick, making sure the stick touches the inside of both candy canes at the top and bottom of the heart. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, until the candy canes are slightly soft and malleable and very warm, but not hot to the touch.
• With your fingers, press the candy canes together, adhering them to the stick at the top and bottom. Gently bend the outer edges of the candy canes outwards to widen the heart shape. (If the candy canes harden too quickly, you may return to the oven for 30 seconds and try again.) Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining candy canes and sticks, using the other baking sheet and rotating the use of the sheets while the others cool.
• Once all of the hearts are formed and cooled, line them up on a piece of parchment placed on a work surface. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a bowl in the microwave on 50 percent power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, 1 to 2 minutes total.
• Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off and pipe it into the center of the hearts, spreading it to the edges with a small spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with the decorations of your choice. Let the pops harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
• Ornament Variation: Make the candy cane hearts without the lollipop sticks and let cool. Tie a decorative ribbon around the top of the heart, then fill with white chocolate and decorate.
